Shes more intrested is trying to get outside to catch all the rats we have round here!!! .... she is still feeding them though ,, Also whats the best stuff to start weaning them on to many thanks

Try with a little bit of mince at 3 weeks see how they take it then a few days later get then lapping some porridge or something similar increse meat intake once lapping you could have them off her at four and half weeks but allow her plenty of contact so theyll learn how to socialise . I worm every 2 weeks from 4 weeks old
